Green Field Projects
Building a new plant is an exciting and complex project with many contractors, timelines, and needs throughout the project. NorthWind works with you and your general contractor to help identify your needs and wants from an automation standpoint. We can then help define controls and automation scope and provide realistic startup and commissioning timelines.
Electrical Installation
When choosing an electrical installation team for your plant’s expansion, retrofit, or new facility, it is advantageous to look for one with industrial experience. Having hands on experience with process equipment, large motors, ethernet capable devices, PLCs, and being familiar with control system electrical drawings, not only speeds whole installation process but can ensure a smoother startup.
We are located in Kansas and travel throughout the United States providing quality installations. We hold electrical licenses in over 75% of the continental US.
Digital Solutions
Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and AI applications are designed to take large amounts of your data and put them to work for you. These projects typically connect multiple systems and processes both on the plant floor and throughout the rest of the business including ERP integration. At NorthWind we strongly believe that software should be built around your process and not the other way around. When the everyday users of software are brought in from the beginning with their needs heard, software adoption is much higher.
Our Digital Solutions Team works with the company stakeholder and workstation experts to deliver user friendly modules that make running your system easier.
